Milestone Rules: A player who accumulates 70,000 in tournament chips (“The Milestone”) in the standard satellite will have the option to instantly be awarded 1 direct entry seat or continue to play the event. Upon verification from the tournament supervisor that the player has achieved the Milestone, the player may cease play, their chips will be removed from play and they will be awarded a direct entry seat into Event 1: $400 Monster Stack NLH, or the player may continue to play until the conclusion of the tournament and elect to be awarded a $400 direct entry seat. ... The Tournament will conclude when the number of players remaining is equal to 1 in 5 of the total entries, less the number of players who have previously won the prize by reaching the Milestone and taking a seat. ... While the tournament staff will make the best effort to identify players as they achieve the Milestone, it is the responsibility of each individual entrant to notify the dealer or tournament supervisor when they have reached 70,000 in tournament chips. ... A player who is dealt into a subsequent hand after achieving the Milestone will be required to complete the hand prior to being awarded the tournament prize. If, at the completion of the additional hand, a players’ chip total falls below the Milestone they are not eligible to receive the tournament prize until their chip total is once again equal to or greater than 70,000. ... A tournament supervisor must be called to verify the tournament chip count of a player who is making a claim for a tournament prize. Players may request that a tournament supervisor count their stack at any time between hands. ... A player who assists another in counting their chip stack or notifying them that they have reached the Milestone is not in breach of the rules.
